ARK features a command console, which lets players perform actions normally not allowed otherwise, such as cheating. Listed below are all known commands along with their parameters.

Opening the console

The key-bindings used to open the console differ by platform/controller and game version:

Ark: Survival Ascended

On PC and consoles with keyboard and mouse active: press ~;
On Xbox or when using an Xbox controller: enable console access in the game settings, then open the pause screen with and press , as shown in the lower-left in game, to open the console;
On Playstaton or when using a PS controller: enable console access in the game settings, then open the pause screen with Right and press Left , as shown in the lower-left in game, to open the console.

Ark: Survival Evolved

On PC and consoles with keyboard and mouse active: press Tab ↹;
On Xbox: enter the pause screen and simultaneously press ;
On PlayStation: simultaneously press ;
On Switch: go to the settings either in-game or at the title screen and enable Console Access. Afterwards hit on the controller in-game while the game is paused.

Notes

On multi-player servers, some of the commands (primarily cheats) require the player to authenticate with the enablecheats command, and need to be prefixed with cheat or admincheat if used on a multiplayer server. There is no such need in single-player.
Commands that target a creature / entity under your cross-hair are marked appropriately in the "Target" column, and commands that affect the executing player are marked with "Self". These commands cannot be used in the remote console.
Console commands are not case-sensitive.
Boolean parameters can be specified as "true", "false", or the numbers 1 or 0 (or 1.0 / 0.0) respectively.
All distances used in these commands are in game units, i.e. centimetres.
You can combine multiple commands to run in a single line using vertical bars |. For example: LeaveMeAlone | Fly | God. On multi-player servers, each of them will need to be prefixed with cheat individually.
All commands can be run through the graphical admin manager.

GFI

<BlueprintPathPart><Quantity><Quality><ForceBlueprint>

General information
Target:	Self (executing player)
Added in:	258.0

Argument information
Name	Type	Description
`<BlueprintPathPart>`	String	significant part of the blueprint path
`<Quantity>`	Integer[32]	Number of items to add
`<Quality>`	Float	Quality of added items
`<ForceBlueprint>`	Boolean	`true` or `1` to add the item's blueprint; `false` or `0` to add the item

Adds the specified item (or its blueprint) to the player's inventory in the specified quantity and with the specified quality.
This is a shortcut version for GiveItem. But instead of the complete blueprint path it is sufficient to specify only a significant part of it.
E.g. the blueprint path of the Tek ATV end in PrimalItemVHBuggy. You can use "vhbuggy" or "vhb" or "buggy" or "bugg" or "uggy" or... On the other hand "atv" will not work because it's the name of the item but not a part of the blueprint path.
For ambiguous parts you will maybe not get the item you want. Instead you get one that the search mechanism finds first. E.g. for Bug Repellant (PrimalItemConsumable_BugRepellant) you can't just say "bug" because this part is also included in "buggy". You will get the Tek ATV in this case. But "bugr" is specific enough to find definitely the Bug Repellant.
To specify items by their item number, use GiveItemNum.
To give items to another player, use GiveItemToPlayer.

Example:

cheat gfi bugr 10 0 0

General information
Target:	Entity under crosshair

Despite the name of the command, it doesn't actually hatch the egg you are looking at but only set its incubating progress to 0% meaning that you still need the appropriate temperature for it to properly hatch.

When firing weapons in infinitestats mode, no ammo is consumed from the inventory.
For weapons with magazines, bullets are removed from the magazine though. Once it is empty, and the "NO AMMO" message appears on the screen, it can be reloaded by either opening/closing the inventory or by switching weapons.

The command does not make the player invincible (i.e. he can still die from falls or high-level attacks such as a Dragon's bite, if the single-hit damage exceeds the player's maximum health stat). The command also has no effect on the carrying capacity.

Repeat the command to disable its effects.

General information

Argument information
Name	Type	Description
`<NamePart>`	String	significant part of a creature's Entity ID (without _C)
`<Tamed>`	Boolean	`true` or 1: tamed, `false` or 0: wild
`<level>`	float	Give creature a specific level, set to 0 for random
`<bLoadIfUnloaded>`	Boolean	Typically ARK: Survival Ascended does not load or keep around complete creature data in memory, unless the creature (or a variant) exists in the world. This option forces the game to load the creature into memory if it hasn't been already (however, it is possible the creature will not be unloaded later). Realistically, for an average player this should always be `1`.

Spawn a creature of the specified type in front of the player character. For tames, it is necessary to put the creature in and out of a cryopod after spawning to get the correct stat values.

The NamePart has to be unique enough to specify the desired creature. E.g. "mega" is part of a lot of creature Entity IDs and is not suitable to specify what you want, but "Griff" is significant enough to address a Griffin.

For a list of all Entity IDs see Creature IDs.

The NamePart has to be unique enough to specify the desired creature. E.g. "mega" is part of a lot of creature Entity IDs and is not suitable to specify what you want, but "Griff" is significant enough to address a Griffin.

For a list of all Entity IDs see Creature IDs.

<"type"><level>

General information
Target:	Self (executing player)
Added in:	252.4

Argument information
Name	Type	Description
`<"type">`	string	Entity ID to summon, enclosed in quotation marks
`<level>`	string	Level w/o taming bonus

Spawn a creature of the specified type at the place of the player character and tames it. The dino isn't cheat-tamed, so still requires a saddle. The level is without taming bonus, so if you want to end with a level x you should divide that number by 1.5. E.g. you want level 150, that is 150 / 1.5 = 100. You type 100 and the result is 100 plus 50% taming bonus: 150.

The quotation marks around the type are mandatory.

Warning: This command will crash your game if there's a typo in one of the blueprint paths. The creature must be put in and out of a cryopod or it will display wrong stat values and colors. Only use this command if you cannot use any of the stable alternatives like Summon or SpawnDino. Make sure to follow the requirements of the spawn commands (e.g. the sum of the ExtraLevels needs to be the value of ExtraLevels). It is necessary to put the creature in and out of a cryopod after spawning to get the correct stat values and colors - without doing so, the creature will have random colors and display wrong stat values.
Spawns a fully set up dino with the specified saddle, specified base and domesticated levels, colors.
This cheat tends to be long and cumbersome - you might want to write them in notepad and copy-paste them into the game when needed
Note that some parameters like SaddleBlueprintPath and DinoStats are string arguments, so if you don't want to use them, you should use "" (the empty string)
The tool provided by ArkUtils may be used to generate a command.

Example:

cheat SpawnExactDino "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/Dinos/Raptor/Raptor_Character_BP.Raptor_Character_BP'" "" 1 1 0 "0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0" "0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0" "Raptor" 0 0 "" "" "" 0 0 "" 0 0 0 20 20
